Unroot Problem

Okay, I originally rooted by using DM Updater downloaded from the market, worked fine. Flashed over to Adamz Smoked Glass, worked fine. 2.1 came out and now today I was bored and figured I'd go back to stock so that I could get the official 2.1. The easiest way seemed to be DM Updater selecting Stock 2.0.1 and flashing that way, well it downloaded I clicked flash rom and now my phone won't start. It starts and gets to the DROID screen then the red eye and then shuts off. I held x and power to start it and it had that ! image.

What should I do? Easy fix I hope?

Let me know if more details are needed.
 
It may be the battery so make sure you leave that on charge for a while and/ or try a battery pull. Assuming it isn't the battery, hold the up button and the camera button to get into the stock recovery. Then use the D-Pad to select a factory reboot. Then hit the reboot in the recovery system. That may have solved your problem and if it didn't, the sure-fire way to fix it is to flash the stock 2.0.1 .sbf file using RSD-Lite. Get back to us if what I told you didn't work.

I'm guessing you're in the stock recovery system since you see the /!\ symbol.

D Pad Up and Camera didn't do anything, doing those + power gave me a screen that said something about battery ok, ok to program, connect usb cord or something like that. Do I do something from there? There were no options to go to or anything?

RSD-Lite, is that a computer program or what? Where can I find the stock sbf file?

I did battery pulls mutliple times, did nothing.

I think if you just boot into recovery and wipe data and cache you will be fine.

Hold x and power then up volume and camera button will get you to recovery. Then just wipe data and cache and reboot.

I flashed the sbf to get back to factory but noticed I failed on the bootloader install part. My device boots and everything but I can't manually update and when I got the ota last nite it failed to verify so install failed.

Is there anything I can do?
 
Power off, hold up on dpad and power at the same time. Reflash the sbf file. I had the same problem the first and did it again,and it worked. Give that a try.

nope. he's in the software upgrade menu now. It's what Verizon uses to flash the OS. You're gonna have to do the .sbf file reflash = follow this to the T,and you'll be back to factory 100%. You'll have to re-activate when it's finished.

I downloaded the 2.0.1 sbf and using RSD Lite v4.5.3 (already had it, is an upgrade needed and that's why I have this problem?). When I click start it instantly tells me "failed flash process. failed flash process. unable to retrieve initialization from INI file. (0x7029); phone connected" in the status area and in result it says FAIL
 
If you download the RSD program from the thread above, it's version 4.6 - Maybe get rid of everything you have currently, and download all fresh files,and try it again. I took everything from that thread,and the first attempt gave me the fail status about 65% of completion. I booted back to the bootloader screen,and tried it again - and it worked without any issues.

- When you open RSD, the top left corner there's a help tab - click that and there's an option to check for update, try updating to the 4.6,and see if that works
